Q: We do drywall installation and audio install Mobile and online nationwide amazone and facebook I take custom specs and install per customer.
A: Thanks for describing your business. Here is what a construction business like yours usually needs. Selling or working online does not exempt the business from a license. The license follows where the business is based, which for most online sellers is home, so a home occupation permit may also apply.
Handyman work is usually fine with a business license for small jobs, but most places cap the dollar amount or exclude electrical, plumbing and structural work without a contractor license.
The good news is that the business license itself can be free, as explained below.
🎁 How to get your business license free
Pick two or more items and the shopping cart deducts $100 automatically, no coupon and no phone call needed. That discount equals the business license service, so you get a free business license with your order.
We locate the correct application, fill it out and file it. When a home occupation permit or an extra license from another level of govt is required, it is part of the one fee, not an extra charge. The certificate is sent to you by regular mail.
For an LLC, corporation or tax ID, we file the documents and obtain the certificate or number for you.
Not included: the govt’s advance annual tax for the license. It is commonly a flat $10 to $50, but it can be higher for some businesses, and it is paid either by check with the application or at the end of the year.
Tip: If you move, change your business name or add a new service, tell us. The license may need an update.
😄 You build things to last. Your license only lasts a year, so put the renewal on the calendar.
